Washington DC – -(Ammoland.com)- A constituent from Reva, Virginia, wrote an editorial blasting Senators Mark Warner (D-VA) and Tim Kaine (D-VA) for voting to subjugate the Second Amendment to the dictates of the United Nations via the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT).

In the editorial published on April 17th 2014 by the Star Exponent, the Virginia constituent wrote, “I find [it] remarkable … that 46 voted in favor of the death of our 2nd Amendment. … And [that] you, Senators Warner and Kaine, were on that list.”

The constituent then asked the senators how they “could allow such a back-door, back-handed deceitful approach to nullify” the Second Amendment to begin in the first place.

He asked Warner and Kaine pointedly, “How is it that you do not feel in line with our traditions, our heritage, our culture, [and] our past which, yes, is necessarily linked with both self and national defense through firearms?”

On September 25th, Breitbart News reported NRA warnings that the ATT “urges record keeping of end users, directing importing countries to provide information to an exporting country regarding arms transfers, including ‘end use or end user documentation’ for ‘a minimum of ten years.'” This information on end users is a de-facto registry and one that could be “made available to foreign governments.”

Well, what do expect from a couple of yahoos that want to steal our heritage and our weapons? I don’t even read about this junk anymmore as they are all the same…communista. Perhaps we need to register communists instead of our weapons…and there are many in this feral goobermnt at all levels, including the Supreme mullahs that decide cases using “other” information than our own Constitution. Impeachment proceedings need to be started against officials of this goobermnt for every crime that has been conducted for the past since WWII. We, the People, can do this.

A stupid UN treaty does not, and will never, override any part of the US Constitution unless the Constitution is amended to allow it. The 2nd Amendment would have to be repealed in order for that to happen and there are too many Dems from conservative districts that remember their roots.

All this fear of a “UN Treaty” is simply “the-sky-is-falling” stupidity — about as stupid as referring to Obama and all Democrats as “Communists”, “Marxists” and “Socialists”.

Read a history book, for God’s sake. Just because a politician believes in universal health care does not make him a Communist.

Old Joe Stalin would have a big laugh at the naivete of people that think this way.

“In the United States, the term “treaty” has a different, more restricted legal sense than exists in international law. United States law distinguishes what it calls treaties from executive agreement, congressional-executive agreements, and sole executive agreements. All four classes are equally treaties under international law; they are distinct only from the perspective of internal American law. The distinctions are primarily concerning their method of approval. Whereas treaties require advice and consent by two-thirds of the Senate, sole executive agreements may be executed by the President acting alone. Some treaties grant the President the authority to fill in the gaps with executive agreements, rather than additional treaties or protocols. And finally, congressional-executive agreements require majority approval by both the House and the Senate, either before or after the treaty is signed by the President.

Currently, international agreements are executed by executive agreement rather than treaties at a rate of 10:1. “…
